An Am u sing incident.

Senator Fair has just returned from
New York, where he went to sign pa
pers for the transfer of the South Pa
cific Coast railroad to Stanford, Hun
tington & Crocker. He tells an amusing
story about the ignorance of gold coin
in some parts of Georgia. He said:
II had occasion to 60 down to Geor-
gia on some business. got off at lit.
lie station and, after stopping day,
went up to the ticket agent to buy
ticket back to Washington. I had
nothing but gold in my pocket and
threw down a twenty-doilar gold piece
The agent. young fellow, picked it up,
turned it over in his hand deliberately
and then looked me square ia the face
and said: That may be all right. mister,
but never saw one of those things be,
fore and, as Tn only getting small
salary, can't take the risk OF accepting
it. II the company would not accept it
/ would have to plank down the full
amount Here was an amusing dl'
lemma. As did not have any other
kind of money with me ! started out to
find some one who knew "a gold dollar
when he saw one. Luckily ran across
an old man and brought him back with
me to see the agent. The old fellow
said he had not seen any gold since the
war, but he knew that the twenty-dol.
lar gold piece was all right. Both of US
finally pursuaded the agent to take the
gold in payment tor ticket. but, don't
you know. that agent was still in doubt.
for he carefully took down my name and
address and made me promise to send
$40 in good money if the company re-
fused to take the gold"
